Power over Ethernet Solutions Market Analysis

Based on components, the power over ethernet solutions market is divided into Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), and Powered Devices (PD). The Powered Devices (PD) segment dominated the power over ethernet solution market accounting for around 54.2% share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 19% through 2034.
 

• The growth in IoT and edge devices in smart cities, factories, and commercial buildings is fueling sharp growth in the PD segment. IP cameras, environmental sensors, smart lighting nodes, and access control systems are all increasingly using PoE for power as well as data requirements.
   
• Electrical driven power is adopting an improved multifunctional design, which matches contemporary fashions as well as the requirements of space-wise installations. Manufacturers are introducing thin, lightweight PDs such as wall-mounted touch panels, all-in-one smart displays, and thin-profile cameras, all designed specifically for PoE.
   
• The IEEE 802.3bt standard with its potential of 90W (per port), is causing a major shift to higher-power solutions on the PSE market. This innovation opens the door for powering more powerful devices, such as pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, digital signage, and advanced access points. Enterprises are, therefore, shifting from legacy injectors and switches to multi-port, high-power PSEs.
   
• Modern PSE devices are increasingly integrated with network management systems and AI-based monitoring tools. Smart PSEs provide features such as remote power delivery control, fault detection, dynamic load management, and energy optimization based on device behavior. These developments hold the promise of greater efficiency, uptime, and security for enterprise networks.
   
• In January 2025, Microchip introduced the GS series of PoE midspan devices with 15W, 30W, 60W, and upcoming 90W variants, fully complying with the latest ENERGY STAR specifications. These devices not only enhance PoE deployment sustainability, especially for powering wireless access points and IoT devices, but also improve reliability.
   

Based on type, the power over ethernet solution market is bifurcated into PoE Switches, POE Converters, PoE Injectors, PoE Extenders/Repeaters, and PoE Splitters. The PoE Switches segment dominates the market with 71% share in 2024, and the segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2025 to 2034.
 

• Managed PoE switches with 16-48 port configuration are being used by organizations to be able to support an expanding pool of devices in smart buildings, CCTV systems and IT environments in offices. The switches also provide better features such as VLAN, QoS and remote monitoring. Switches with support of IEEE 802.3bt standard are also being adopted due to a transition of high-power devices and centralized power management.
   
• For instance, in April 2025, Omnitron Systems announced the launch of compact Single Pair Power over Ethernet (SPoE) switches and injectors that extend Ethernet and PoE up to 1,000 meters over 2-Wire Single Pair Ethernet Cable. They design and develop end to end connectivity solutions for video surveillance, building automation and industrial automation markets by launching a series of complimentary Single Pair Ethernet products that enables customers to bridge Information Technology (IT) and Operational technology (OT) networks the basis for Industry 4.0 and IoT.
   
• Cloud management and software-defined networking (SDN) functions are the features of PoE switches. Those relationships enable flexible centralized programming, automated traffic control and real time debugging. The trend is especially pronounced within the enterprise networks, the data centers and the educational campuses that demand scaling and increased operating efficiency. PoE switches that are managed in the cloud make remote IT management possible as well, which is a more fundamental requirement in the context of hybrid workspaces.
   
• PoE converters are gaining popularity as companies seek to integrate legacy devices into modern PoE environments. Converters bring non-PoE devices to a state to be utilized in PoE networks, lowering replacement costs and facilitating phased infrastructure upgrade. This application is specifically suited to industrial automation and legacy video surveillance installations where total hardware system replacement is not affordable.
   
• PoE injectors are becoming an option to extend PoE functionality to non-PoE network switches at low cost, offering a cost-efficient approach to upsize infrastructure. Injectors are more desirable in SMBs and small offices to avoid legacy switch replacement. Low-cost approach is popular for less significant surveillance applications, wireless access point installations, and VoIP installations where limited devices need to be able to support PoE.
   

Based on standard, the power over ethernet solution market is segmented into IEEE 802.3af (PoE), IEEE 802.3at (PoE+), and IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++/4PPoE). The IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) segment dominates due to its higher revenue potential and long-term strategic value. Companies prioritize permanent hires for critical roles, leading to larger contract values and deeper integration with talent strategy.
 

• The IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) segment dominates owing to its extensive use in low-power devices like VoIP telephones, normal IP cameras and simple wireless access points. It is inexpensive and backward compatible, which is a favorite among SMBs, legacy installations and budget-friendly power upgrades. The low cost and high reliability of 802.3af still keep it in the running, especially indoor office and older buildings with moderate power requirements.
   
• For instance, in September 2024, Eurotech announced the launch of BestNet PoE Switches that give power and transmits data over one cable. BestNet PoE switches feature an elegant metal housing, low power consumption and continuous PoE power supply equipped with 4X10/100M PoE ports + 2X10/100M uplink RJ45 ports, of which 1-4 ports support IEEE 802.3af/at standard PoE power supply.
   
• IEEE 802.3at is the dominant standard for medium-power usage, utilized for instance in HD surveillance, dual-radio Wi-Fi access points, and touch kiosks. The additional power (above 802.3af) allows more advanced devices to run on a single cable, facilitating more functionality and simplified installation. This standard offers a price/performance trade-off, especially in enterprise and campus environments.
   
• Majority of organizations are moving to PoE+ as a future-compatible solution for their networks. It is powering more powered devices, including multi-function IP phones, digital signage and even thin clients. The shift is being done from legacy PoE to PoE+ in the enterprise sector to accommodate the higher number of medium-power devices while maintaining energy efficiency and centralized management on IT infrastructure.
